Abstract

The use of ureteral stents is an integral part of the surgical management of upper tract urinary lithiasis. Recent evidence suggests that stenting after "uncomplicated" ureteroscopic lithotripsy could be unnecessary, but what constitutes an "uncomplicated" case, and is this evidence convincing enough to change current practice?
